Judas
Asparagus
A child was told to write a report on the entire Bible.
I wonder how often we take for granted that children
understand what we are teaching? Anyway here it is. |
Through the eyes of a child....
Children's Bible in a Nutshell.
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was
nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The
Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than
that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.
Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but
they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented
yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so
they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they
were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long
as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off,
except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy,
but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat
and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other
people to join him, but they said they would have to take a
rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous
than His brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark
in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph
who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton
Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from
the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people.
These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he
gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include don't lie,
cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah
- one more: humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible
guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the
fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant
with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300
wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that
doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.
One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and
then barfed upon the shore. There were also some minor league
prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the
star of The New Testament.
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like
the Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums.
The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they
named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached
to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those
guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't
stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Any ways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.
He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum.
His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
